We are proud to announce the 15th Anniversary trunk show at my flagship store, Holt Renfrew on Bloor, in Toronto, Canada. I approached them 15 years ago with a request to have a trunk show with my vintage jewellery collection. Instead, they took it on as a department, they branded us Carole Tanenbaum Vintage Collection, and the rest is history. We are now represented around the world. It could not have happened without the commitment and ongoing support of Holt Renfrew. Hope to see you at Holts on Bloor on Sept 17, 2009 for my personal appearance between 3:00 to 6:00pm.

My dear friend Ellen Carey of Seedhouse in New York is my fashion Guru. She has predicted so many trends in fashion over the years. Sure enough, her red-hot color prediction was right on for this season, inspired by the Chanel Russian collection . That's great for Vintage Costume Jewelry, as red has always been sought after by collectors, in Bakelite, Sherman, etc. Here are some "dandies" I couldn't resist!!!

I am constantly asked who my favorite vintage designers are. I love different designers for different reasons. I must say that I cannot refuse an unusual Henry Schreiner, any Coppolo e Toppo's, and Hobe's early filigree jewels. I would love to hear who your favorite designers are and why.
